I've never sat in a Celica. I think my car is already enough of a mixed breed...Escort GTR -- 11.87 @ 117.6 mph -- 320 HP / 325 Ft. Lbs. @ 23 PSI

I actually liked the low-ness of the MX3 seats in my Escort wagon. my head would brush the ceiling, and the stock seats actually presented a visibility problem (sort of what happens when I sit in an S2000, the stupid top of the windshield blocks my view.) The MX-3 seats put my noggin right where an "average" person's head would be, and I could see much better!
I never ran spacers or anything to deal with tilting, I want to say that people were on crack, because no such lean existed for me, but that wouldn't be nice.

I think the leaning problem happens in the BF chassis, but not the BG chassis. I certainly don't have any lean in my escort with 100% MX3 seat components.
I'm only 5'10" so I don't have any headroom issues, even in my miataEscort GTR -- 11.87 @ 117.6 mph -- 320 HP / 325 Ft. Lbs. @ 23 PSI

If I'd have kept the miata, I would have done a foamectomy. I felt like I was a giant in a clown car, the top of the windscreen was like right at eye level.
I second just bolting the seats to the floorpan. That's what I would do if I get an NA again and throw in some fancy buckets..
FE3, or anyone else... Do you know if the recaro MX-3 rails sit lower than the standard MX-3 non-recaros?1991 Protege LX 5MT, P/S, A/C, NOW Sun Roof!

I need to be lower for clearance.. else
EDIT:
a neat feature of doing that is you can gain back the extra lower lumbar tilt.1991 Protege LX 5MT, P/S, A/C, NOW Sun Roof!
